According to official figures, 38.7% of Ghanaian women between the ages of 15 and 49 years have experienced violence at the hands of an intimate partner.
Tragically, girls under the age of 19 years are the demographic most likely to experience violence. Our solution is multi-pronged. In addition to establishing are refuge - The Pearl Safe Haven - we run regular advocacy programs and have developed a mobile application - The Safe Place - to provide important remote support to survivors.
The Pearl Safe Haven is a Ghanaian company limited by guarantee (not for profit) which is operating an emergency shelter with some elements of transitional housing for survivors of domestic violence, abuse, and rape.
Get InvolvedWork is in progress to develop internal policies and procedures including operating procedures, financial management policies, codes of conduct and policies towards clients, including duty of care, right to self determination, privacy, and safety.
We are grateful to all our donors and supporters, including the Australian High Commission in Accra, the Mohinani Group, Geodrill, Diamond Cement, Wilkins, JLD & MB Legal Consultancy, Signum Development, and West Africa Forgings. With your support we have been able to complete Phase 1 of our project that will enable us to accommodate and support 10 women. Phase 1 includes the ground and first floors of the main building, an under-cover kitchen and dining space and the admin block.
We are currently seeking funding to complete Phase 2, essentially the second floor, that will enable us to accommodate an extra 10 women.
